For the very few - it was not possible to add a comment to post above - but ruarios 2022.12.20 Vivaldi 5.5.2805.50 based on chrome 106 works fine on 64bit Slackware 14.2 where updated Vivaldi 5.6 (based on chrome 108?) return errors (on my system).

Added aarch64

(missed that one patch in the meanwhile tho)

Take care.

Finally I stuck it out with Vivaldi. It feels like a pair of well worn slippers now. The only thing that is hard for me to take are the colours.

EDIT - All was good until I tried out the bookmarks. What a mess. Not at all what I am used to and not what I want to get used to. I tried to return the bookmarks settings to default but that feature didn't undo what was bugging me.
Back to Google Chrome

Interesting. The bookmarks are not much different than any other browser I have ever used.
Colors can be changed via settings > themes.

In contrast to every other browser I've tried so far, vivaldi allows for defining ones own theme - which is a welcome addition in my book.

I can't remember if I noted it's needed to symlink the ld-linux so it's accesible from /lib/ as in Slackware it resides in /lib64/

In order to have the arm64 vivaldi work on Slackwareaarch64

Vivaldi (6.2.3105.58) is acting weird after this -current update. I can't say it's directly related tho, I just perceived UI glitches after applying the update.

- Various icons in settings are missing
- Menu button is about 10 pixels bellow its usual place, overlaying address/extension icons bar
- Many websites (google, github and pretty much anything modern) looks very strange with missing buttons, CSS not applied etc (old sites looks fine)
- UI glitches everywhere

Sample of the settings page is attached.

Does someone there confirm or is it just me?

vivaldi seems to run completely normal here after latest -current upgrade.

Well, it looks there is something going on with AMD/Mesa/Chromium gang. I've found this looking for a fix:

Following the first recommendation I did:

Restarted Vivaldi and all the UI and webpage glitches are gone.

It's worth noting that last -current mesa update was Fri Sep 29 19:45:18 UTC 2023 to mesa-23.2.1-x86_64-1. But yesterday update upgrades llvm-17.0.3-x86_64-1. I'm inclined towards the idea llvm and mesa have triggered this underlying chrome behavior with AMD APU drivers, tho I don't have a shred of proof about this claim.

Same problem here but the removing the GPU cache doesn't help.

and here, vivaldi runs perfectly after implementing all the last upgrades (Slackware current, Vivaldi has been built by using Ponce's slackbuild)

There are other GPUCahce dirs. Try this in your user $HOME:

This will reset cache for user, guest, system and extensions (in vivaldi's scope).

that didn't help either

There could be more GPUCache directories hiding outside of .config. I somehow wound up with one in .fluxbox (which I haven't used in quite some time) and Vivaldi didn't start working again until I deleted that one as well.
